Absinthbier from Handbrauerei Forstner
17 years ago
4.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 4 Flavor 4 Texture 4 Overall 4.5
Bottled(330ml). -The only one not so good Forstner beer however still better than most of other Austrian lagers. Dark orange coloured, small white head that went away fast, dry peppery (almost chili)nose. Unbalanced spicy-beet-herbal taste without any notes or presence of absinth. Pitty.

Absinthbier from Handbrauerei Forstner
17 years ago
5.5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 6
Bottle (Bière d’Absinthe, spelled "biére" on the label) that ogivlado got at the brewpub and shared with me (thanks!). Poured a murky lovely dark amber/red body with scant head. Malts and beets in the nose. Bitter taste, husky, beets, that’s all. Slightly acidic in a herbal way, but not much. C’est tout. The brewer did a good job preventing the wormwood from utterly dominating the taste, but might’ve overdone it because not much can be felt, if anything. It’s probably better than any other beers with wormwood, but on its own, especially after Brew-Secco and Triple 22, it’s nothing special.

Triple 22 from Handbrauerei Forstner
17 years ago
7.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
Bottle that ogivlado got at the brewpub and shared with me (thanks!). Vintage ’08 of course. Poured a red body with an off white head, strong carbonation, a bit fizzy. Sweet malty nose, fruity,some honey and hop. Caramel, light chocolate, orangey-biscuity... the maltiness here is lovely, sweet, earthy, balanced and tasty. A very nice beer indeed, but don’t come expecting an "Abbey Triple". This isn’t one, not by a long shot. It is, however a very pleasant, strong, Belgian style ale. More similar in taste to a traditional dubbel, better than most too. It’s so great to find these brewed in lands dominated by pale lagers.

Brew Secco from Handbrauerei Forstner

8.3/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 10 Overall 8
Bottle (vintage 2008) that ogivlado purchased at the brewpub and shared with me (thanks!). Poured a murky apricot body with a huge off white head that went away slowly. The Cascades used seem to dominate the nose, but a sweet grainy maltiness also reveals itself. Sourish too. The taste starts off dry, fruity with some Cascade too. Bitter hopiness, merging with a persistent, lingering herbal acidity in the finish and aftertaste. Notes of bubblegum too. The acidity is balanced by the fruity maltiness and the overall result is damn nice actually. Extremely complex and a very interesting beverage. One that might not have scored as highly on another day and with someone else, but still great. Gerhard Forstner, you rock!
